I like the autodetect feature.
A few notes: 1) My lenny installation doesn't have /etc/ltsp/plugins (I imagine it would be a symlink to /usr/share/ltsp/plugins, but it's not there) 2) I put my proxy information in /etc/apt/apt.conf, because that's where the installer puts it. Some people create /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy, and put their proxy information in there. I tested both methods with the autodetect feature, and both worked. 3) I removed my proxy information from apt.conf* and used the --http-proxy option. That worked as well. This gives me 3-minute client builds if all the needed files are already cached. That's awesome.
